Zombicide Base Strategy Board Game

We just posted about board games based on the TV shows The Big Bang Theory and The Walking Dead. Even though we introduced these games back when they were new, they were worth repeating because they are on sale today for really cheap prices. Another fun strategy board game that is also on sale is the Zombicide Base Game, but in this case we’ve never covered it before. This fun zombie strategy game has tons of replay value as you play cooperatively with up to 5 other players in 10 different scenarios on different maps. Judging by the fantastic customer reviews out there, this is definitely one of the best zombie board games ever made.

Zombicide is a collaborative game for 1 to 6 players developed by Guillotine Games and published by CoolMiniOrNot. A game lasts for 20min (beginner board) to 3 hours (expert board). 71 minis. A special effort has been given to detail and diversity: several models are available for most zombies of the same type (example: several models for “walker”-type zombies, including male and female versions). 9 double-sided gaming tiles. Scenarios take place on boards from two to nine tiles in a riot-devastated urban area. Characters move from zone to zone defined by walls and crosswalks. Designers were careful about the overall quality and playability of the tiles’ illustrations. Double-sided tokens. Objective tokens. Door tokens. Car tokens. Noise tokens. Zombie spawn zone tokens. More tokens than required indeed. In fact, enough of them are planned to create your craziest scenarios. 110 cards. Including Equipment cards and Zombie cards.
